power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool.
use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch/trigger
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch/trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings
1. the guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The
guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
2. use only bonded reinforced or diamond
cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just
because an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
3. the rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
4. Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
5. always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.

5. Maintain power tools. check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. if damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7. use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6. Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
7. the outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
8. the arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Wheels and flanges with arbour holes
that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
9. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. if power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. after inspecting
and installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no
load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels
will normally break apart during this test time.
